Obviously I wasn't going to be able to resist reading it when folks started talking about Captain America 34, and posting pictures, and generally making spoilers available for those who wished to partake of them. Why's that? Well, I'm not going to get my comics for another month! Which is far, far too long to wait. I haven't read the whole thing. I'm sure I'm missing some salient facts. But that won't keep me from talking about it now.
* So, going by what little I've seen online, I've got to confess that the new Cap costume--as drawn in the book--isn't that bad. Granted that it's dark in the story, which may make a difference as to how it looks. But it looks all right. Far better than I'd expected.
* This may change as the storyline continues, but at this point? I can't think of the new Cap as "Captain America." I think of him as "Winter Soldier in the Cap suit;" it seems very temporary to me. And I didn't think that I was one of the "Steve Rogers is the one and only true Captain America" crowd, so I'm a little surprised at my reaction here.
* I always like the Black Widow and am happy to see her in just about any book, but if WS is buying that she isn't in some way keeping an eye on him for Tony, he's a lot less clever than he seems to be. She may have mixed motives, but I'd be pretty surprised if that's not the case.
* The gun doesn't bother me, but it may have something to do with my not thinking of him as Captain America, I don't know.
* Gonna be a long month...
